- Comment on The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US. 1 week ago:
This is technically not true, the FCC can and does enforce spectrum usage rules. Whether they will expend resources chasing down your router or your unlicensed GMRS is another matter.

You can run pfsense on a gig of memory if you arent using Snort or pfblocker. I had this on a vps for an email gateway, worked fine. Adding block lists or services gooses memory usage though

Can you build it yourself like you can for Lineage?

Waxed pretty poetic about the botulism that one time too. Great content though.

I saw Slayer in 2011 at Fun Fun Fun Fest. I’d never listened to them but they put on a hell of a show. Melted my face, and they were tight. Then I went back to not listening to them.
- Comment on Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns 2 weeks ago:
Part of a old joke about various big tech org charts. Microsoft divisions are purported to be in not only fighting with each other but also within themselves.

- Comment on Popular self-hosting services worth running 3 weeks ago:
Yeah might be the IP range of the provide. Also sometimes it stops working till you update. But I expect the hetzner IP range has more than one self hosted instance on it so probably gets tagged for the whole range.

Not even running your own? Once you get past the Docker config you can have your own endpoint. Mine has never had any issues

Also it is awesome. Dual shotguns or phasers? Why yes please.
- Comment on Popular self-hosting services worth running 3 weeks ago:
AI generation aside, not a bad list. I’d add searxng, and, opnsense/pfsense is really awesome to have with pfblocker, and then wireguard so you get all the benefits on the go.
- Comment on I was told it would be a cultural experience 4 weeks ago:
I used to pit stop at the original buccees for the nice bathrooms back in the day. Small place, nice bathrooms, a little kitsch.
Then they did the new ones. I am from here and they still completely astound me. The jerky is good though so I stop and get a supply about once a year. Then I am shocked when they scream about brisket.

It never occurred to you to keep the nicad or NiMH battery bank full of charged batteries and swap them out?
You can’t even leave the lithium ion batteries plugged in when you aren’t using them for long periods, they swell. Which is bad.

Sure but…we had that already
- Comment on What us the best way to add remote access to my servers? 4 weeks ago:
This is the way. Quite secure and private. It is not complicated to set up, just have to get the keys and copy them in the right places (and protect the private keys) and do the forwarding to a VPN endpoint on your network.

Most places with solar panels hooked up to the grid, you can’t use the power from them when the grid is down. Safety thing so you aren’t back feeding into the grid.

What, no. Audio-technica from about 2016, they are normal weight.

- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 4 weeks ago:
The internal batteries often aren’t that hard to replace. If you can get the device open the batteries are standard sizes you can order and often just plug in. Except phones, phone manufacturing relies on pure evil
- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 4 weeks ago:
I have two sets of headphones, one older set that takes a AA and a new one that charges. I use the older ones constantly since when they die I just grab a NiMH AA out of the charger and pop it in, back in 10 seconds. New one…not so much
- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 4 weeks ago:
In all seriousness, the transition of small devices away from AA/AAA batteries is very annoying. I always had batteries charged, now I have to constantly plug some junk in and wait?
